    Here's how she keeps her job. She listens to rumors and reports them. The rumors are never that extraordinary but as soon as we read them we start to extrapolate all sorts of possible meanings. Then the broadcasters who need to fill up at least 12 hours of airtime listen to those rumors and start making up their own stories. Then we hyperventilate for days over the stuff that we've made up our selves. And scramble to grab the nearest newspaper or get on cleveland.com to find out what she says next. She's not on the practice field, neither is Tony Grossi. Neither is Terry Pluto but he's a hell of a writer. Now who told you guys we could lose a first round draft pick? Where did you hear that exactly?

      A. I read that it's just a fine. I think the number was 25 grand or something.

      B. Mary Kay Cabot sucks. She's like a Hollywood gossip columnist who doesn't care

      about being honest.

      Think Tom Melody of the Beacon Journal in the old days. He finally ended up up not

      covering sports, I think.

          I dont get your question or why where norv sat matters.....but there is a huge difference between who would be in the press box and who would be in the coaches box....

          My question is, What does it matter where someone is sitting? They are all up above the field, with a better view of the game.

          If the owner is in the coaches box, can he call plays then? And what if the OC is in the owners box, can he not call plays?

          What's to stop an owner, from saying he's a coach too?

          MKC's game is innuendo and half-truths with enough verifiable facts and names stirred in to confuse the issue.

          It's plausible that a staffer or staffers were texting Shanny during the game, but if he did not have his phone with him, as he should not have, then it becomes an personal irritant rather than a league violation.

          The League would be my guess. I know MLB has such rules and would be surprised if the NFL did not as well.

              I find it hilarious that this is a NFL rule. πŸ˜† :lol: πŸ˜† :lol:

              I see headsets, phones, iPads, printers cameras all over the sidelines.

                And here it is....looks like Tony Grossi decided to wait for the facts, instead of reporting rumors.....I knew this would come out eventually. Glad it happened today.....

                As per Tony Grossi:

                ....there were non-football personnel texting disparaging remarks about coaching decisions, play-calls and use of players to each other during games. It was like two fans holding texting conversations during games. The problem was the β€œfans” were team employees who exercised bad judgment. When coaches became aware of what was going on, they were understandably put off and brought it to the attention of GM Ray Farmer. From what I know, it was not a case of texting play suggestions to coaches.....

                  A big dust up over nothing.

                  However if Manziel gets banished to the locker room again they should take away his smart phone.

                    So you're saying you do not read that as "texting to the sidelines?" πŸ˜‰

                      Jerrah is GM of the Cowboys, what's to stop him from being the coach too?

                      1. A rule?

                      2. No. Al was Raider HC, then left to become AFL Commissioner, then returned as Raider Part Owner and GM. The only HC/GM/Owner I know of was Halas... and that was a while ago.
